🤙Much appreciated

Glad it was helpful!

Hi, Most brands don't list a max drag rating because the actual weights are very dependent on the angle of the load. The higher the rod angle, the more the tip is taking the load. So for a rod like the Twitch 73-3, I would expect 4-5kg of drag with the rod held up at 45 degrees and the weight hanging straight down. When the fish is pulling at a shallow angle away from the angler, or the rod is held at a lower angle, then max drag of 6, 7 or 8kg could possibly be used. Hope that helps!

Hi We'll look into it and see what we can do on the subject.

We review the Ocean Devil Diablo 74 in the PE 4-5 Review th-cam.com/video/JnCGB50nTMM/w-d-xo.html

@@fishheadtackle I mean the most powerful one for big GT and Tuna, thx

Hi, Usually with a round bodied lure I would favour the treble on the belly, because there is always a prong sticking clear from the body, whereas the single can lay flat against the lure. If they were pretty large GTs then it's possible the size of the treble was struggling to get a grip around the fishes jaw, as BKK Raptors to match the TBO 180 are not huge hooks. In this case I would also swap to the singles - you get a larger gape hook for the weight, as well as a significantly stronger hook. The only downside will likely be missing some of the smaller bycatch species that hit the lure.

All the rods in the PE2-4 video are in the shorter 7'3-7'8 range. These shorter rods are very versatile for doing both horizontal presentations, like casting minnows and topwaters, as well as more vertical presentations like hopping soft baits and vibes across the bottom. Once you go to an 8 foot rod like the Tobizo 80-50, with its longer butt and tip, then the rod gets much better for the topwaters and minnow lures, but not as good for vertical presentations. So bottom line is the Tobizo 80-50 is a fantastic topwater/minnow rod but not as versatile for other presentations

@@fishheadtacklethank you for your time and the information. Great video

The FCL Labo CSP 110 IFS Sinking is 38g and floating is 23g

We don't have many of the little HKTM lures left, but there are a couple in stock. The tiny lures are ones they don't build so often, but they are very effective on the trout! fishhead.com.au/fcl-labo-hktm-45/ fishhead.com.au/fcl-labo-hktm-55md-diving-minnow/

Thanks, it's getting there, but a few more weeks until I can put weight on it

You're welcome

Thanks, will do!

If you go to the description and click on the link to the product on our website all the information is there.

We are based on the Gold Coast and open by appointment. but all prices are available on the link in the description.

The Tobizo rods were designed for fishing from a boat where fighting fish straight up and down is a priority, so they have much more power in the bottom end for lifting. Also being shorter makes them more comfortable in long battles. The Accura rods are longer and designed for shore casting, so they can cast long distances easily and can use the length to steer fish around rocky outcrops or manage the line/lure in a surging wash.

@@fishheadtackle thanks for the feedback! I ended up going with the accura

Glad you enjoyed it

Hi, you can definitely use tuna style rods for catching GT. The only downsides can be that the softer style tuna rods don't always set hooks as well or perform with the larger stickbaits as well as a dedicated GT style rod. So it will do the job, especially if you plan on using some smaller lures, to compliment larger lures on your heavier GT rod

Hi, if you go to the description for the video it has links for all the rods on our website with the prices and more detailed descriptions. As this is a PE8 video, the rods will all suit PE 8 line, though some are more PE6-8, while others handle PE8-10 nicely. The leader strength depends on the target species, but I typically use up to 180lb leader on PE 8 lines. If you go heavier, I find the thickness of the leader relative to the braid causes more tip wraps and wind knots when casting.

Hi the King Slayer is fairly soft at the tip and is ideally suited to stickbaits and minnows. However when you're talking 30-40g poppers, the cups are not all that big, so it will still get a pretty reasonable action with them. Maybe not the biggest pop but it should pull them through the water ok. If you want to get a sharper and more aggressive action, then look towards the stiffer rods like the FCL 73L or M

Glad you like them - we hope to get a few more done over the next couple of months

Haha yes, it has to catch the angler first, before it can catch a fish

Give them a swim on your next trip, they have a very nice action!

pretty sure it does..

@@philliphurd3102mahalo!

Mine did, trebles (owner) and singles. 138mm that is

Hey there, each Labana lure comes with BKK hooks check out the product description for more details.

Perfect timing then!

@@fishheadtackle cant wait to try them on some kings!

Thankyou that was our goal when we started this channel

We will add it to the list

You can jump on our website fishhead.com.au or follow the links in the description for each of the rods.

Once we have both versions back in stock, we'll try to do a comparison video on the G versus Type R models

Glad you think so!

We will add it to the list!

We will add them to the list!

For the CSP S220 sinking and S260 sinking, the action is pretty much the same as the 180 sinking that we showed in the video. As you go up in size, the tail kick slows down a little but the darting and S shaped swimming remains the same. The extra bulk in the water means you can rip them harder, and you can feel the vibration of the lure more clearly through the rod. The other lures I intend to put in an FCL popper action video soon
